In early December, 5 Shelter dogs boarded a van operated by Semper Fi Rescue. Their destination: Massachusetts! These dogs were the first ones sent by The Animal Shelter to Dakin Pioneer Valley Humane Society as part of their Dixie Dogs program.
Ben, Goldie, Houston, Margie, and Rabbit made it safely to their destination, and were immediately assessed as adoption-ready, proving what wonderful dogs we have here in the South! We would love to show you all their pictures at Dakin, but we can't - Goldie, Houston, Margie, and Rabbit were all adopted in their first week! Ben is still awaiting his Northern home, but given his winning smile in his pic, we know his family will find him soon:
Dakin is accepting 5 dogs each run, 2 run per month - a total of 120 precious lives transferred for Northern adoption each year!
You can help!
To qualify for interstate transport, the chosen dogs must be quarantined for 2 weeks prior to travel. The Animal Shelter is in need of pea gravel for the quarantine yard to keep these pups healthy and ready to go! If you can set us up with some gravel, you will be an important part in rescuing these lives. Please call the shelter at 256-236-1581 or email ashelter@bellsouth.net if you know anyone who can help.
Can you spare $5 to help a cat or $10 to help a dog this winter? Please ChipIn to our Warmth for Winter Campaign!
